Zemanta, Are You Listening?

I annotated the Zemanta stubs in a recent post:

Zemanta is a browser plug-in that very cleverly reads my posts while I am editing them, and recommends additional links to stories (‘stubs’) that I can opt to add as ‘related’ material at the foot of my posts.

What Zemanta’s team might do is figure out how to implement this annotation in an integrated and social fashion. Instead of me typing these annotations as text in my post, they could be implemented as notes to the Zemanta stub of the Loic Lemeur and Next Web posts, above. Then, when others consider using Loic’s post as a related story, they could a/ see my notes, and b/ opt to publish my — and other people’s — notes along with the Zemanta stub. More importantly, the notes and stubs could be published as a stream, like Storify, and people could opt to start following my notes, which opens up a whole new dimension for Zemanta.

Psst. Are you Zemanta guys listening?
